Confessions of the Bookstore Clerks: We Hate What You Read
In our never-ending quest for the unvarnished truth about literature (and all that entails) in Brooklyn, we decided to go straight to the source: the people actually selling us the books.

Yes, they talk about cats, and no, you shouldn’t worry (too much) that they’re judging your purchases.
